Hello guys, please use this code IDSMTI$, change the $ to J. God bless you.

Hello, I'm worried—I submitted my fingerprints for my EAD and 360 in February, but they aren't showing up in my online account. Can someone please help me if you've experienced the same thing?

marriage Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA)

Hi everyone! I am from Argentina and currently going through the adjustment of status process. I married my husband, who is a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) through the Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA), so I applied as a derivative beneficiary under the same law. USCIS received our I-130 and I-485 forms on July 5, 2024. We have been waiting for exactly two years now, and our cases are still pending with no recent updates. Is there any other spouse of a CAA recipient in a similar situation or who filed around July 2024? I would love to hear if anyone has received approvals, RFEs, or any updates recently just to compare timelines. Our local field office is Miami. Thank you so much, and good luck to everyone with their cases!

i485 pending since 2024. with i130 approved since 2021

I filed my case i130 he was approved 2021. I came in this country and filed an i485 in January 19,2024. on February 8 ,2024 case was review , no update since. just biometric reused, no RFE, No interview.

I would like to share my case. My case is F2A with PD April 2024. On October 2025, I filed my I-485 and was scheduled interview on July 2026. My I-130 was approved on the same interview date and I-485 was approved after 1 day. The interview went well with a lot of questions for both my wife and me regarding our basic information, our relationship, tax, photos and my immigration history.

2026 filers with 2022 PD?

Any recent 2026 filers who have their EAD approved? My PD is April 2022 and I filed back in early April of 2026 but have not got my EAD yet. My i485j is approved but no other updates after that.

Has anyone experienced the same?

I’m from February 2023. In September 2023, I got an update on my I-485 that said, “Case was updated to show fingerprints were taken,” and last night I got the same message again on the I-485. Does anyone know what it means to have the same update twice so many years apart?

F2A Interview: I-130 Status Changed 3 Times, I-485 Still Pending

My F2A interview was a week ago. My I-485 status hasn't updated yet, but my I-130 status has changed three times—from "Actively Reviewing" to "USCIS Is Processing Your Case," and then to "USCIS Is Processing Your Case" again. Does anyone have any idea what this means?

Has anyone with SIJS-based permanent residency (Green Card through SIJS) traveled outside the U.S. this year and returned without any problems? I’d like to hear about your experience.

finally 🙏🥳

after long time i got approved today 🙏🥳

VAWA-based I-485 interview,

During my VAWA-based I-485 interview, the officer asked me who I attended my tourist visa interview with. I honestly told the officer that I attended the visa interview with my first ex-husband and that we received our tourist visas together. I did not hide that fact. The officer then told me that my first ex-husband and I entered the United States on the same day and through the same travel route. I honestly answered that I did not know he had entered on the same day or through the same route as I did. I traveled by myself and consistently gave the same answer throughout the interview. The interview then continued with questions about my children, taxes, and unauthorized employment before my work authorization. At the end, I was told that background checks could take longer than 120 days, and I was not given an RFE, NOID, or any other notice. My question is: From a USCIS adjudication standpoint, how significant is this fact? Can the fact that my first ex-husband and I entered the U.S. on the same day and through the same travel route, by itself, have a major impact on the outcome of my VAWA-based I-485 application if there is no direct evidence that I knew about his travel plans? Or is this generally just one factor that USCIS considers together with the entire record? Vawa approved

Just got approved today!! interview was today at the Orlando field office and was very nervous but interview went very well smooth officer was very nice. told us we were approved at the end.

Interview for I485 after VAWA/Case APPROVED

Just wanted to share my VAWA timeline and interview experience. I hope it helps someone! My timeline: * April 2022 – Filed VAWA (I-360) and I-485 together * January 2026 – VAWA approved * April 2026 – Received the medical exam (I-693) request * June 24, 2026 – Interview was scheduled * July 8, 2026 – Interview completed * July 8, 2026 – I-485 approved Interview experience: I had my interview in Chicago, and it was really easy. The officer only asked simple questions: my name, where I work, when I came to the U.S., my parents’ names, and my marital status. I filed my I-485 while I was married, but I’m now divorced. Since they had my original application from 2022, the officer asked when I got divorced and requested my divorce decree. I had already obtained a certified copy from the court with the judge’s signature, so I was able to provide it. I also brought my Social Security card, passport, Advance Parole, Employment Authorization Document (EAD), and all of my approval notices, but she didn’t ask to see any of them. I had my lawyer with me, which made me feel much more comfortable. The interview mostly consisted of the standard yes-or-no questions. They did not ask me about the abuse or ask detailed questions about my ex-husband. Remember: They can only ask very general questions about your marriage, such as when you got married, when you got divorced, your ex-spouse’s name, birthday, and when you met. I would recommend having a lawyer with you if possible. It gave me peace of mind, and they can step in if needed. The whole interview took less than 30 minutes. Now I’m just waiting for my green card. Good luck to everyone who’s still waiting—you’ve got this! ❤️#vawa #i485aftervawa #interview

Drivers license name change

I got naturalized in November of 2025 but just updated SSN last week. I also decided to change my name to my husbands last name after naturalization. I got my SSN updated to my married name, but when I went to update my drivers license they issued a temporary license and said they needed to verify my citizenship and once that's done they'd mail me the new license? is this common?

485 based on grant of asylum interview

Hi everyone, I just finished my asylum-based green card interview this morning, and I'm happy to share that it went very well. The officer only asked me questions from my application. We found a few mistakes on the form, and we corrected them together during the interview. The entire interview lasted about 40 minutes. At the end, the officer told me he would enter all the corrections into the system, review everything, and then make a final decision. He also said that I should receive my green card before long after he finishes the review. Based on my personal experience, the interview was very straightforward and much easier than I expected. I don't think everyone going to an asylum-based green card interview necessarily needs a lawyer. If your case is straightforward and you're familiar with your application, you can do well by answering honestly and confidently. Of course, if you feel you need legal assistance because of the complexity of your case or for peace of mind, there's nothing wrong with hiring a lawyer. I hope this helps anyone who is feeling nervous. Be truthful, review your application carefully before your interview, and stay calm. Wishing everyone the very best with their interviews!

My H-1B petition (Regular Processing) was filed on June 25, 2025 after being selected in the FY 2026 lottery. It’s been over a year, and my case is still pending with no RFE or decision.

Has anyone experienced such a long wait? Did your case eventually get approved? Is there anything my employer or I can do to help move it forward? Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated #h1b.

ya llevo 18 meses esperando una aprobación de USCIS y aún nada esposo de ciudadana fecha de prioridad 09 de enero 2025 hasta cuando ?

Found processing stats that actually match my situation MyCasesHub

The USCIS processing page is just a national average by form. MyCasesHub has a crowdsourced breakdown that splits it by country, category, and field office with real applicant data (2,000+ cases now), so you can see timing and approval rates for people in your exact situation. Way closer to my actual case than the official average. Smaller countries still need more data but it's the closest thing I've seen to "how long for someone actually like me.

I had my interview on June 9. My I-130 was approved on June 10, but my I-485 is still pending. I called USCIS, and they told me my case was sent for review. What does that mean?
